Boom, boom, boom.

The heart of my body is coordinating with the heart of my drum.

Inside, my hollow core is resonating, filling up the silence with sound.

As I drum, the outer layer of my lively corpse is animated, and bustles in a way that produces sound from the heavy piece of metal, that is secured to my body

The sound stops.

The outer layer of my now unlively corpse is still, and situated in a still position.

My hollow core, that was just recently occupied with sound and energy, slowly retreats back to being just a hollow core.

The heart of my body beats on, even without the spirit of the drum driving it:

Boom, boom, boom
